Busy day today carrying out safeguarding visits, trying to locate a missing defendant and a spot of rogue trader hunting. Managed to squeeze in a little cuddle with this beaut too. Now I want a goat π€¦π»ββοΈπ€£
Just because a trader belongs to an advertised approved scheme, it DOES NOT guarantee the quality of their work. Get genuine recommendations and obtain at least three quotes before employing a builder. #BuildingFraud#RogueTrader#TradingStandards
If you're having building works done at your home, ask your builder for a written contract before any work begins or you pay any money. If the contractor doesn't do what was agreed, the written contract can help you get back the money you've paid. #BuildingFraud
Reports of cold callers in St Erth flogging energy saving products over the weekend. Never agree to a contract on your doorstep and use @CornwallBWC to select a reputable tradesperson

Police warn of oil fuel theft rise. This type of crime is often preceded with an increase in cold calling as it's an easy cover to locate fuel tank positions. Be vigilant! https://t.co/ngY7pYOawT
